You can probably find a replacement battery. something like that:<br><a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xacer+e5-575g+battery.TRS0&amp;_nkw=acer+e5-575g+battery&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xacer+e5-575g+battery.TRS0&amp;_nkw=acer+e5-575g+battery&amp;_sacat=0">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i....</a></p>JunkyMon, 05 Feb 2018 16:36:03 -0000Re: Acer E 15 E5-575G Review (GT 940MX, I5-U)http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/acer-e-15-e5-575g-review-gt-940mx-i5-u/#comment-3744258800<p>Hey there. Yeah, I would never have thought that it would make such a huge difference; I am pleasantly surprised. Sorry, I should have been more precisely. It does play well, but I can't watch lengthy 1080p videos (+60 minutes) without draining the battery completely. I belive the battery is somehow damaged... HWInfo don't show any wear level, odd.</p>ChristianoMon, 05 Feb 2018 16:29:48 -0000Re: Acer E 15 E5-575G Review (GT 940MX, I5-U)http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/acer-e-15-e5-575g-review-gt-940mx-i5-u/#comment-3743442308<p>Hi man. Great to hear that you've managed to reduce the temps. The thermal paste is a problem in many laptops - either because it gets dry or because the company simply do it badly</p><p>You can't watch 1080p youtube videos without the AC plugged in?? it doesn't play well?</p>JunkyMon, 05 Feb 2018 07:33:47 -0000Re: Acer E 15 E5-575G Review (GT 940MX, I5-U)http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/acer-e-15-e5-575g-review-gt-940mx-i5-u/#comment-3743381495<p>Hi there, I have replaced the thermal paste with Arctic MX4 (applied a very thin layer) and the temps went down to max 83° CPU and 78° GPU with Prime95+ Furmark:<br><a href="https://imgur.com/a/GTW7W" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://imgur.com/a/GTW7W">https://imgur.com/a/GTW7W</a></p><p>While I don't have Crysis 3, I played Motorsport Manager, Stellaris and HOI4 without ever getting above 70 degree celsius.

I finally levered it up with a little more force and it popped loose. All good. Searched everywhere for a N155RF service manual - tried different brands and Clevo directly but no luck. There are N150RF manuals, but the case is different and there are a couple of other small differences. Now that I got the bottom off I can work through the rest of the items using the N150 manual. Thanks for your excellent post and your reply to my question.</p>Richard ChesherWed, 03 Jan 2018 00:52:21 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3689183246<p>Well, we need some kind of measurement we can judge by.. what are you suggesting?</p>JunkyTue, 02 Jan 2018 22:39:44 -0000Re: Clevo N155RF / SAGER NP7258 Review (GTX 965M, I7)http://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/clevo-n155rf-sager-np7258-review-gtx-965m/#comment-3689182362<p>frankly, I don't remember, but sometimes the plastic is stuck for some reason.

You say it is easy to remove the bottom plate - but after removing all the screws and unsnapping the plate the back of the plastic plate is still attached. I guess it snaps off but I don't want to break it without being sure I'm not missing a screw or need to apply pressure a certain way. It looks like the plastic of the bottom plate extends up the back of the computer. Can you comment on how to get it off? Also is there anywhere I can download a repair manual for this computer?</p>Richard ChesherTue, 02 Jan 2018 20:40:04 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682808551<p>I would wait to see more 17" laptops with 1070 or 1070 mq but the problem is I need to buy a new one until the end of January (my friend is carry that from USA for me, prices are too high in my country).</p><p>3. GL502 or 703VM is really good on surface temps, but inner temps are quite high as seen on NBC. I like the design of them but if undervolt won't help, I wont be able to return it.</p><p>4. I had the exact model before, bought from a local Clevo rebrand but the WASD temps bothered me even if it seems cool on NBC with Witcher 3. Clevo PA71HS-G, however, seems like has better cooling but can't find any reviews about it tho.</p><p>So I'm down to GS73VR, it has 1070mq (perf decrease from full 1070 is not that bad I guess) 120 hz 5 ms screen and really cool surface temps. I may also try my luck with 702vs + undervolting, but as I said before if I cant pass throttling I wont be able to return it so it's a gamble.</p><p>Also recently I found Gigabyte P57Xv7 kl3kl3. 1070 QHD 120 hz screen. Interestingly cooling solution looks like exactly same with gl702vs, but with undervolting it reaches 70ish degrees. Surface temps also really good on WASD area according to this review. <a href="https://youtu.be/tMhuPdngYOI" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://youtu.be/tMhuPdngYOI">https://youtu.be/tMhuPdngYOI</a></p>Oğulcan ÇelikFri, 29 Dec 2017 05:10:52 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682165708<p>1. Oh, you're right about the WASD, some laptops are not as hot. But, from what I see the Razer Pro GTX 1060 has lower temps, not with a GTX 1070 and it's a quite heavy machine at 3.13kg as per NBC measurements</p><p>2. My suggestion would be to wait for the Coffee Lake HQ CPUs, and perhaps get something with a Coffee Lake I5 + GTX 1070 MaxQ if you really want a GTX 1070. Just remember it's not much faster than a non-throttled GTX 1060</p><p>3. Actually, the GL502VS (not the 702VS), gets around 36 degrees in the NBC tests. I had this machine too - but I didn't get temp readings I think<br><a href="https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL502VS-Notebook-Review.171567.0.html#toc-emissions" rel="nofollow noopener" title="https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-ROG-Strix-GL502VS-Notebook-Review.171567.0.html#toc-emissions">https://www.notebookcheck.n...</a><br>This is with the Skylake I7-6700HQ. The 7700HQ version should be a bit cooler</p><p>Another option - the Clevo P650HS (1070):<br>a. According to NBC tests, it does get to 43-44C on Prime95+Furmark, but around 37-38 in Witcher 3 which is quite close to the Razer Pro 34C with GTX 1060 (vs 1070 in the Clevo)<br>b. I bet that with a small CPU undervolting + automatic clocks limitation it should be ok.<br>c. If you are ok with a GTX 1070 Max-Q, you can set some limitations to the temp or TDP yourself, I think (unless it is completely locked).<br>d. With a proper cooling pad, it should be a bit lower too<br>e. Again, I would wait for the Coffee Lake laptops</p><p>What do you think?</p>JunkyThu, 28 Dec 2017 16:58:49 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682111535<p>45C on WASD is really hot, I mean GS73VR's, GL series' and Razer's WASD on full load is like 33 on tests as I know from tests and I get quickly annoyed from hot surface temps when my fingers are on WASD. I don't mind 80ish temps on CPU and GPU too but as far as I know, GL702VS's CPU reaches 96 on full load and thats pretty bad (looked again and GL702vm and VS uses same heat design, two shared pipes). People suggest undervolting helps but I'm not quite sure.</p><p>I don't need really cool machine, I know I wont be achieve as cool temps as my GT72VR in size because this thing is 3x in these laptops I mentioned. I just don't want to face termal throttling or 45ish temps on WASD area. That's all I want actually. Have you tested or tried gs73vr or 1070 17 inch asus models?</p>Oğulcan ÇelikThu, 28 Dec 2017 16:20:41 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682104240<p>1. Well, let me cut it short - you won't get a cool machine with these specs and especially when it's thin. 43C when fully loading the machine isn't considered high at all..</p><p>2. The Asus VS variant is not the same as the VM - it's a little more roomy and less hot (at least in my tests). But it won't be cool</p><p>3. Perhaps you'd want to get a different machine for traveling OR a slim cool machine + eGPU OR going down in performance?</p>JunkyThu, 28 Dec 2017 16:15:38 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682086123<p>Well I have GT72VR with 1060 but it's too heavy for me to carry. I got some money saved up and I'm looking for a 17 inch 120 hz 1070 or 1070 maxq laptop. GS73VR is a good deal but I don't know about CPU temps. GL702VS seems good but had 702VM before and inner temps were completely garbage, it uses same design so I don't think that's gonna work. Razer Blade Pro with 1060 seems good too but it's to expensive and 1060 (but looks cool and the temps are insanely cool!). GE73VR is really good but, I know from my friends 1060 GE72 WASD gets really hot like 43C. Can't find anything that satisfies my expectations.</p><p>So I'm pretty confused and was gonna check your reviews and your opinions :D</p>Oğulcan ÇelikThu, 28 Dec 2017 16:03:09 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682077495<p>Thanks man, really nice to hear..</p><p>Yes, I haven't really updated the site for a very long time, partly because it seems that almost no matter what I do, Google doesn't like it, and also because it takes a lot of time and resources.<br>I'm working on a new version for the site right now, and I'll give it one more try</p><p>What are you looking for?</p>JunkyThu, 28 Dec 2017 15:56:48 -0000Re: About Ushttp://www.gaminglaptopsjunky.com/about-us/#comment-3682073897<p>I was searching for a laptop and forgot your website. Then I remembered that I posted something via Disqus. Went to Disqus, tried to reset my password, went for a recovery to reset my email's password :D All these to find your awesome reviews. But it seems you are not doing that much reviews anymore and that's quite sad.
